ImagineFX Presents… How to Draw and Paint Anatomy We launch the first in a series of specials designed to inspire new artists
We have launched the first of a four-part series of bookazines dedicated to encouraging artists of all levels to develop their core art skills and embrace digital art techniques.
Today we’re collaborating with sister site Vectortuts+ in bringing you this two-part Premium tutorial. Rob Birnholz will demonstrate a technique for converting a still image into a dynamic 3D animation. Highlights include prepping an image in Photoshop, vectorizing via Live Trace in Illustrator, using the knife tool, converting paths to layers, importing as a comp in After Effects, animating vector art in 3D using Zaxwerks Layer Tools, saving preset effects and other basic compositing tips.
